BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

amiranda-39274 Let me just say one thing first, I LOVE this movie! its actually on my top 10 favorite cartoon movies list, and that's a hard list to get on! This movie is perfect,the story is enticing,animation is breathtaking, the characters are extremely likable and memorable,and the music is soul feeding.i have seen this movie with my siblings at least twice every year since we were kids, and let me tell you why. First i am heavily affected by the nostalgia this movie gives me, but i do want to give an honest review. This movie is basically a road trip movie, Sinbad and his crew fight monsters everywhere they go, just like the original Sinbad stories, but the plot delivers a swashbuckling adventure with likable antiheroes, with Sinbad going through physical tests but also tests of character, that feels so relatable. The characters are hilarious, there's like 10 people we see through out the movie, and each one of them catches your attention instantly, Sinbad is a very awesome likable antihero played by Brad Pitt, who is known for those kind of roles, his voice blends perfectly with the cartoon, his crew are all equally funny, special mention goes to the ones named Kale and Rat. But the female lead/love interest named Marina played by Catherine zeta Jones, steals the show, shes an ambassador not a princess, but she is engaged to Sinbad's long lost best friend prince Proteus, at first she seems like a calm and polite woman, but as soon as she gets on the ship she proves to be a feisty,adventurous snarky heroine, who is equally as bad ass as Sinbad. And the best character is Eris, the goddess of chaos played by Michelle piferer, probably one of the most sexy animated women ever, and one of the best villains I've ever seen, basically she wants to see the world burn.The animation is very amazing, the characters are traditional 2d, but they fight against 3d monsters, which look a little outdated, but still awesome, the backgrounds are marvelous, sometimes you just want to pause to look at them. And probably what makes this movie so epic is the music, it just captures you in the moment and makes you feel all sorts of emotions, especially at the end. My sisters, and i guess i do too, love Sinbad and marinas romance, despite it being a week or 2, like a Disney couple, it feels far more natural,its obvious from the get go, that Sinbad, secretly likes marina but he hides it with a funny sexist, macho attitude,you definitely feel the sexual tension when they argue or when their working together, their dialogue together is very mature and realistic, and when they finally say I love you, it is heart wrenching, and when they finally kiss you are flooded with emotions, at least that's what my sisters and my girlfriend tell me. But whats most interesting about their relationship, its complex, marina is already engaged to a really nice prince who also loves her, but its not technically a love triangle, since hes stuck in prison the whole movie, so you don't know if you can agree with it, in fact Sinbad actually says he left his friend because he was jealous of him getting marina, and didn't want to cause a love triangle. And during the voyage he tries really hard not to give into his feelings,because his friend is waiting for marina to return. Even the villain tells him how wrong that is, and how that makes him a bad guy, I've never seen anything like this in any other kids film. But when marina admits she loves Sinbad, you feel happy for them like their love is real. When marina does return, Proteus gives them both his blessing and is not bitter in any way. And let me just say when Proteus is about to be executed, the tension increases, luckily Sinbad returns, despite everyone even the audience doubting he would, throughout the movie he is constantly asked, " is he a thief or a hero, and will he accept responsibility for his crimes and die for it", amazingly he does, and then in the most heart wrenching scene, he prepares himself to die, saying goodbye to marina and his friends,looks at the ocean one last time, as their about to cut off his head! but the execution is stopped at the last sweat dropping second by the villain.I just cant shut up! Lets just end this with, this movie is very underrated and deserves more attention. The action and music is awesome, the romance and drama is mature and emotional, the animation is breathtaking, and it has a strong moral message throughout. I love how both the male lead and female lead are equally bad ass, and i think the voice acting is better than most Disney films. Truly a masterpiece by dream works, that deserves your attention and viewing.

Jesper Brun I liked this movie and I still do. The lesson about trusting your friends even when it seems pointless is really strong in this movie. The most enjoyable character in my opinion is still Eris. She is beautifully animated and is done perfect by Michelle Pfeiffer. I was sucked in every time Eris was on screen. In addition that, I must say that Sinbad, and especially his dialog seems too modern and cocky to represent an old legendary traveller. I also have some minor problems with some less good CGI animation, but aside from those, I still like the movie. It is a good kids adventure movie and some things in it may also be interesting for adults.

xoxomaya93 I was surprised that this movie has been poorly reviewed! I loved it! The animation is incredible, the characters are well-developed, and the story is interesting. It sends a pretty good message about doing the right thing, and also that women being as able as men. I would recommend this for middle schoolers and older, and I believe that even adults would really enjoy this film. In fact, this is now one of my favourites! If you enjoy movies like The Princess Bride or Treasure Planet, this is probably a pretty good one for you. However, I would not recommend this to anyone who disapproves of even the subtlest sexual themes, non-Christian stories, or mention of human mortality.

TheLittleSongbird I personally don't mind Dreamworks. They are either hit(How to Train Your Dragon, Prince of Egypt) or miss(Shark Tale, Bee Movie), but when they are good, they are good. Sinbad:Legend of the Seven Seas was surprisingly good and a thoroughly enjoyable animated film. It could have been longer though, and one or two parts could have done with more excitement. That said, the traditional animation is excellent, very colourful and vibrant, and the score is energetic and has a sense of adventure. The story mostly is engaging, with a sequence with seductive sirens standing out as well as the exciting escape from a bird of prey, and the script is smart and witty particularly the banter between Sinbad and Marina. The characters are likable and very well voiced. I am not the biggest fan of Brad Pitt, but he does a solid job as a somewhat flawed yet likable Sinbad, while Catherine Zeta-Jones is fine as the sassy Marina. Eris is quite sinister and fabulously voiced by Michelle Pfeiffer. In conclusion, a thoroughly enjoyable movie. 8/10 Bethany Cox
